Why didn't anyone tell me this is a parallel world?

The Volunteer Association for People with Special Powers regularly organizes charity events every year. The content of each event is relatively fixed, and only slight changes are made every few years.

For example, the activities in the Tulum Desert have basically been fixed for more than ten years without any changes. As soon as Teacher Chu Jue mentioned the Tulum Desert, Xia Liuying knew the content of her mission.

Long before Teacher Chu Jue mentioned it, Xia Liuying had searched for information about the Superpower Volunteer Association and had learned almost everything she needed to know.

Fortunately, she had this foresight, so she was not completely in the dark and knew nothing at this time.

The Tulum Desert Tree Planting Hiking Activity is mainly about a group of registered people with special abilities, who only carry necessary daily necessities and plant seeds, and hike through the desert, planting plants on the road as they walk.

When the plants planted on a route grow successfully and the green spreads over the entire route, the route will be changed.

But it can't be considered a cross-country. The shape of the Tulum Desert is similar to a semicircle, or an earthworm that has been cut in half and curled up.

The routes chosen over the years are all located in the 1/3 of the Tulum Desert. Sometimes the activity period is shorter and may only be carried out in the edge range of 1/4.

This activity will last for a full month, and the route will obviously be very long. Xia Liuying no longer thought about those messy things, and carried the backpack given by Teacher Chu Jue and walked towards the shopping store not far away.

This is the edge of the Tulum Desert. Although we have not officially entered the desert, we can still see yellow sand flying in the sky when the wind blows.

However, Xia Liuying didn't have to worry about having sand hit her face where she was. This place was a bit like a train station platform, and there was indeed a train track next to it.

It is like a huge flat square, surrounded by a transparent protective cover like Base No. 12. Except for some wind and sand blowing in occasionally, most of the wind and sand can only blow through outside weakly.

There were many people carrying the same backpacks as Xia Liuying, and some were walking towards the desert without hesitation, or had just arrived and, like Xia Liuying, were walking towards the building with a huge shopping store sign.

To be more precise, this shopping store is the base of the Volunteer Association of Superpowers in the Tulum Desert, otherwise no one would go to such a remote place to open a shopping store.

To be more precise, this place is more like a service point, which is used to serve those people with special abilities who participate in desert hiking activities every year.

Xia Liuying stepped in. It was already past five in the afternoon. Even though she had been traveling in the car for a whole day and night, it was not a big problem for her physical fitness as a psychic.

But what followed was a month-long desert hike, and there would be no place for her to rest properly, so of course she had to adjust her condition first.

"Welcome challengers to the Tulum Desert, and have a safe journey."

The automatic sensor glass door opened and an electronic voice sounded, which was very different from the "Welcome" voice in ordinary stores and felt very special.

At least to Xia Liuying, it gave her some anticipation for this unknown hiking trip.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt the extremely cool temperature inside. Although it was just on the edge of the desert, it was really generous of the Volunteer Association of Superpowers to achieve this.

At first glance, it is an open space hall of several hundred square meters. There is a row of rest seats against the edge of the wall and several elevator doors interspersed in it.

From the outside, it seems that this shopping mall does not have a second floor, so the elevators can only lead to the underground.

On the right hand side there are the words "Service Desk", and next to them there are a few small signs for the lounge and toilet. On the left hand side is a huge supermarket with transparent walls, which is filled with a wide variety of goods.

Xia Liuying took a look and walked towards the service desk. There were several young ladies sitting there, but there was only one person at the window.

"Hello, how can I help you?" The lady at the service desk was very friendly and kind.

"I need a room to rest." Xia Liuying didn't hesitate and directly put forward her request.

"Okay, are you here for a break or do you need to stay overnight?"

"overnight."

"Okay, please provide your registration certificate for the Superpower Volunteer Association, and we'll arrange a room for you to rest."

Xia Liuying was silent for a moment. All these things were prepared by Teacher Chu Jue. She didn't know about these things when she was in the car just now, so she didn't ask Teacher Chu Jue.

However, Xia Liuying was not panicked. After thinking for a while, she opened the backpack in her hand and did not search through it. She saw a pile of cards including registration certificates, which contained all kinds of things.

Xia Liuying glanced over and saw a "Special Permit for Hunting Dangerous Animals"... It seems that Teacher Chu Jue has taken all kinds of unexpected situations into consideration. If a dangerous situation really occurs, even if it is a protected animal, he can take reasonable action.

Instead of taking out the cards one by one and looking at them, Xia Liuying only took out the registration certificate and handed it to the lady at the service desk.

The lady at the reception desk smiled and served, "Okay, we have prepared a room for you... Wait, you are still a minor?"

Probably because it was a pop-up reminder from the system, the lady at the service desk had a surprised expression on her face.

She could indeed see that Xia Liuying looked very young, but for people with special abilities, judging age by appearance is very unreliable. For example, Teacher Chu Jue looked even younger than Xia Liuying.

Therefore, I didn't doubt Xia Liuying's age at first, until such a reminder popped up when I checked in through the system.

Xia Liuying nodded. She was now 16 years old, and the various materials must have recorded it very clearly. It was not something she could refute with just her mouth, and she didn't even think about refutating it.

Without waiting for the service desk lady to politely refuse, Xia Liuying handed over a certificate of special permission - it was placed right below the registration certificate. It was probably because Teacher Chu Jue had known this in advance.

With special permission, the lady at the service desk could no longer refuse and successfully provided service to Xia Liuying. However, she hesitated for a moment, lowered her head, took out a black square object the size of an eraser from the table, and handed it to Xia Liuying.

"This is an emergency rescue signal transmitter. If you encounter a dangerous situation, you can apply for rescue in time."

Xia Liuying glanced at the lady at the service desk, nodded, thanked her, and accepted it without rejecting her kindness.

Emergency rescue signal transmitters need to be applied for actively. They are prepared for some psychics who are not strong enough but want to participate in these more dangerous activities. Generally, psychics with sufficient strength will not apply for them.

There is time to wait for rescue. Capable psychics would have already figured out ways to solve the problem on their own. If they cannot solve the problem on their own, it would be too late for rescue to arrive.

What's more, some things require you to go all out. There is no way out and you can only keep moving forward. If you have the guarantee to retreat, when you encounter difficulties, you will not have the firm belief to move forward.

The lady at the service desk was worried about Xia Liuying, a 16-year-old minor, so she took the initiative to get one for Xia Liuying to take with her.

Regardless of whether he is a superpower or not, he is still just a minor after all.

If it were some psychics with hot tempers, they would probably get angry when encountering this situation, thinking that the lady at the service desk looked down on their abilities.

Xia Liuying knew that the other party was being considerate of her underage status, so she smiled friendly and thanked the other party for his kindness.
